Technical Specifications Layout Rear Engine / Rear Wheel Drive Displacement 3,996 cc (4.0 L) Engine Type Naturally Aspirated Flat 6 Power 493 bhp @8250 rpm Torque 460 Nm @5750 rpm Redline / Limiter 8400 rpm / 8500 rpm Curb Weight 1,435 kg Transmission 6-Speed Manual 0-100 km/h 3.9 sec 400 m 11.80 sec Overview Starting with the 996 GT3 RS, Porsche decided to give customers some more hardcore driving pleasure. 997, replacing the 996 was a good leap forward while for some was not as pure as the earlier model. The latest 997 GT3 RS was strong enough but they have built a special edition, the 4.0 L version, with a production count of 600 pieces total, making the car more special yet. So is it just a collectors car to be displayed near some other stuff or a machine that should be worn again and again on track? I think both. If I could effort, I would buy two of them, one for each use. I’m not kidding, it is a pure drivers car with lots of feel and pushes the limits of physics but on the other hand, it should be kept clean with no mileage and be watched […]

Red (or preferably blue) wheels are a hint that some lightweight stuff will be going on. This, for some, is one of the best handling Porsches ever built. The car does NOT have traction control, which is NOT something silly. Some of you might think they could need TC if it rains or when you lend your car to your wife, but, would you give away this car to your wife if you don’t trust her? Or would you push this car to its limits under heavy rain on a public street? We all know the answer is no. So why? Why Porsche? Why are the 911 GT3 RS’ built after 996 are somehow softer cars? Why do they have TC? I think there must be a line between GT3 & GT3 RS. […]

Isn’t it mind blowing? There is this car company who never changed the design of their one model for 50+ years. Such a recognisable beauty. This one is a ducktail Carrera RS. Not the best 911 though. Dr. Porsche always said “The best 911 is the one that is not yet built.”, or something like that.. AUTOart is becoming unbeatable when it comes to Porsche models. Classic scale model cars are (I think) always more attractive. Even this pale coloured, VW Beetle on Steroids is such a charming little machine. No need to spend much much more on other more expensive manufacturers. This is it. Date purchased : 2012 Price paid : 130 USD

Technical Specifications Layout Mid Engine / Rear Wheel Drive Displacement 2,997 cc (3.0 L) Engine Type Naturally Aspirated V6 Power 280 ps @7300 rpm Torque 294 Nm @5400 rpm Redline / Limiter 8000 rpm / 8500 rpm Curb Weight 1,230 kg Transmission 5-Speed Manual 0-100 km/h 5.1 sec 400 m 13.05 sec Overview It never was called “Godzilla” or “Widowmaker” but deep down it really needed a nick. It was a man’s car. You had to feel everything and respond pretty quickly which the car let you do both. The Type-R was 100 kgs lighter than the standard one and was really like it was prepped for only track use. You have to see Senna drive one of these.. The colour white, comes from the Japanese racing cars (Honda race cars in this case) and is named “Championship White” The Scale Model Way better than the previous NSX. This even makes them look like a 90s Bburago. The wheels of the model somehow seem out of scale. Not having seen the Type-R version in person, the wheels of the model look too small. It might just be me.. Interior and engine details are […]

What kind of madness is buying the same car with a different paint? This kind. When it comes to classic models, manufacturers pay a little bit more attention to detail. This car is a great example. I have an RS4 of Minichamps which also pretty good but this car is amazing dor the money. The paint, decals, interior, wheels and etc. i totally recomend her.

Technical Specifications Layout Front Engine / Rear Wheel Drive Displacement 4,805 cc (4.8 L) Engine Type Naturally Aspirated V10 Power 552 hp @8700 rpm Torque 480 Nm @6800 rpm Redline / Limiter 9000 rpm / 9500 rpm Curb Weight 1,480 kg Transmission 6-Speed ASG¹ 0-100 km/h 3.7 sec 400 m 11.6 sec Overview It took almost 10 whole years for Lexus to design, build, test and start the production of LFA. The car stands out with her astonishing V10 sound, which was developed in cooperation with Yamaha. Yamaha sound engineered the engine, engine bay and the cabin to obtain maximum sound levels delivered to the occupants. They even managed to carry the lower “Bass” sound waves to the body of the occupant and higher “Treble” sound to the ears, from under and above the dashboard. Carbon shell is produced via standard procedure as most other super cars’ are whereas the A pillar is woven in house. Lexus had the opportunity to share any technology know how with Toyota. The Scale Model AutoArt again did a nice job. All of the body is amazing while giving a little touch to the rear spiler where you […]
